ArcGIS Online Basemap Imagery Licensing

Question

I am looking for licensing information for the basemap imagery available in ArcGIS Online.  Specifically, I am looking for guidance on digitizing features from the imagery in the basemaps and associated terms of use in doing so.  It appears that this is only an option in situations where we are using the information in non-commercial situations.  Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

This use of the imagery basemap (and its variations such as Clarity and Wayback)  is allowed.   See the Terms of Use section for the World Imagery item in ArcGIS Online (see “Data Collection and Editing” below).

This work is licensed under the Esri Master License Agreement.

Data Collection and Editing: This layer may be used in various ArcGIS apps to support data collection and editing, with the results used internally or shared with others, as described for these use cases.
